Fabulous villa with great view

The villa was perfect, it was in a great location. The pool was amazing, we spent many hours relaxing. There were really great restaurants close by and we enjoyed being to close to many amenities. The villa had everything we needed but maybe a cappuccino machine would of been nice. The bedrooms were perfect and the view from the balcony was amazing.

Gorgeous

Even better than the photos! The view is gorgeous and the villa is well stocked and nicely furnished. The staff at Luxury Retreats was a pleasure to work with too. The location is also very convenient, there is a grocery store and several great restaurants within walking distance. There wasn't much of a beach at Cupecoy when we visited, but it is easy to get to nearby beaches. Baie Longue is close and is a beautiful, large sandy beach. We rented paddleboards and paddled over there from the villa. I would highly recommend Farniente and will definitely be booking future vacation rentals with Luxury Retreats.

Absolutely amazing! The Villa was beautiful and the location is perfec

We loved the community that Farniente is located in. We were close to everything and the convenience of having a grocery store a 2 min walk away was just perfect. The villa itself is beautiful, just like the pictures. Would be helpful to have 2 sets of beach towels so they can be laundered and changed out. Some of the towels (for personal use (showering) had holes in them and should be inspected and replaced. Overall, it was just perfect!

Farniente Rogers Party

The villa and complex were beautiful. Farniente was very clean and the housekeepers were wonderful. Some of the lighting was not functioning which was a shame since the villa was so well designed. Also, in the smaller upstairs bedroom it would be nice to have the handheld shower have a hook high enough so you do not have to hold it to take a shower.

We were advised that the beach may not be accessible based on tides and it wasn't. I think in the future we would want a villa that had a nice beach year round.

I thought the villa could use some more plantings outside to make the beautiful area more attractive and also access to some pool floats or noodles.

spectacular location

The place is probably the best location and nicest place on the island. The only thing that Luxury Retreats and the owner need to do is to make the directions for using your cell phone or using the land lines phones located in the villa much easier to understand. Keep in mind, people in the US almost never have to dial internationally, so consider us infants. You literally need to spell out each and every digit that we have to dial once we pick the phone up. I couldn't make a call to save my life while I was there. Other than that...this particular rental is the best I've ever stayed and the best you'll find on the entire island. We love it.

Great Vacation!

We visited Farniente for a 40th birthday celebration and the villa was perfect. Exactly as described and it was wonderful. What impressed me the most was your company. From the time of booking, to your website, the personalized service, everything was top notch. I can't think of one thing to improve. Jasmine our concierge was especially fantastic. She provided first class service and made all of us feel very welcome. Based on this, we will most definitely book again with you. Our friends were equally impressed and they are already planning a villa holiday in Italy. Thank you to the team for a truly memorable holiday.
